In the first of a new series, shares his thoughts about the benefits of micro workouts

The brutal truth about micro workouts

I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone tell me they "don't have time" to exercise yet tell me about their favourite series they've binged on Netflix. News flash: you don't need an hour-long "bro split" where you spend most of the time admiring your lighting in the mirror and ten minutes actually moving. You won't burn many calories walking back and forth to the water fountain or spotting Joey on his max bench. You need to realise that all you need is 7 minutes, 3-4 times a day.

Science doesn't care about your excuses

You think seven minutes is a joke? It can't be true? Research confirms that as little as 3 to 4 minutes of vigorous activity scattered throughout the day is associated with up to a 40% reduction in all-cause mortality.
